[QUOTE="drnuncheon, post: 910797, member: 96"] ...and the wizard can take it out in one round. Your point? I personally wouldn't be calling the ranger a loser if you need him to stand on the other side of the giant for you. As far as the rest of the comparison goes: Sneak attack: extra damage under certain circumstances. Generally needs stealth or teamwork to set up. Less chance to hit, because your rogue BAB is lower than the ranger's. Favored enemy: extra damage whenever you hit (multiplied on criticals, I believe) [i]and[/i] bonuses to a whole lot of skills. A lot of people forget the skills in their rush to tally up their damage. Pretty much anything you do against a favored enemy, you get a bonus to - and in 3.5, it's a significant bonus, up to a +10.
